I really like the '73, beautiful looking car.
The '76 is a $5K to $6K car at most. By the time you fix up and repaint the '76 you'll be around $10K for a car that can't get out of its own way.
With any luck you can get them down to $10K on the '73 and have a sweet Vette that can actually move.

If the interior,and mechanical part are good. We will see...we shall see.
Yeah it looks good in the outside...the skin is beautiful, hopefully those vital organs and bones are in good shape as well.

A little more info on the 73
" Yes the headlights are not fully functional, i replaced the seals in both actuators, havent had time to hunt down the line that is not causing the problem. Engine overhauled 5k miles ago as well as tranny, both are mildy upgraded. Full suspension upgrades front and rear. All body bushing replaced. This car is 85-90% restored. There are a few interior pieces that need replacing, nothing major, i.e right side kick panel, rear wind trim."

Small block??? Big block??? Auto/manual??? Who did all the work? When? I hate listings which tease with nice but not detailed photos, and "rebuilt everything" but no specifics at all. I hope it is all you want and more but I can't wait until you report back.

I never go in with high expectations. Usually the opposite! But there's always that little glimmer of hope!
